    No, oranges only go orange if exposed to temperatures below 13C

      What influence does temperature have on peel color? Sweet oranges require low night temperatures (below 55º F.) Before they will color well.

      Huh, TIL.

        Wife is one of those tropicals, she says they have both orange and green oranges, depending on the type. I asked her what type is green, and we have the same type here but it’s orange.

        Also Fanta is yellow, btw
